Doubles by Hallie Kate Pullig, her third of the game, Cali Deal and Kinsley Ponder and a single by Briley Bowers helped Quitman score two runs in the top of the 7th inning but homestanding Oak Grove held on for the 7-5 victory by stranding Lady Wolverine runners on second and third base.

The loss was the 4th in the last 7 games for Quitman against a murderers row of opponents that included #1 and #3 ranked teams in Division IV and the 3rd and 4th ranked team in Division III and dropped the Lady Wolverines record to 16-6 on the year.

Four straight hits, including doubles by Pullig, Maggie Guyotte and Ponder that sandwiched a single by Deal paced Quitman to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first but Oak Grove methodically rallied by scoring two runs in the first and fourth innings and single runs in the second, third and fifth frame.

Next Up: The schedule doesn’t get any easier as Quitman will hit the road again on Monday and Tuesday to play West Ouachita and Benton, the 6th and 2nd ranked teams in Division I among “non – select” schools.
